Global regulatory scrutiny of stablecoins intensified this week. The FDIC plans to clarify that stablecoins are ineligible for pass-through deposit insurance, aligning with the GENIUS Act, while tokenized deposits may qualify. This move aims to prevent confusion regarding government guarantees. Simultaneously, a U.S. court dismissed an anti-terrorism lawsuit against Binance, granting plaintiffs 60 days to amend their claims, though the exchange faces ongoing regulatory scrutiny. In the US, the CLARITY crypto bill faces a standoff over stablecoin rewards programs, with traditional banks fearing customer migration if incentives are permitted. Compromise language is being drafted to balance innovation with financial stability. Elsewhere, Ondo secured European approval for tokenized stocks, signaling growing institutional interest. The Bank of England signaled openness to alternatives to proposed stablecoin holding limits following industry backlash, but ruled out regulation of self-custody wallets. Bitcoin mining surpassed 20 million coins, highlighting its scarcity.
